It amuses me to play Roblox with my son when he's on a tablet or console and I'm using the Sober app to run the Android client on my Linux desktop that was built to be a windows gaming PC several years ago when he was a little baby.
He has an old PC that he doesn't use much, but he's got a much fancier one on the way.
Is it though? Sure they’ll have a couple great quarters
STOP TALKING! WE ARE FUCKING SOLD!
Ah, yeah it's affected everything across the board. But with the US context and you talking about giant vehicles, $60K vehicles, and 3 rows, I thought we were focused on the larger end of the population as a whole.
I bet the crash safety design of the current honda civic was definitely influenced by the truck regulations and that whole market driving the large end even larger.
Funny enough, I am eagerly awaiting the official announcement of the 2026 MX-5 of all cars.
Alright fine, I can tolerate the little ✨AI ✨ sparkles in my M365 webpages a while longer if it means more kaboom at the end.
I wonder if it's a white balance thing, as in the setting you'd see on a camera or in a post processing tool.
For instance, consider that "soft" or "warm" light bulbs (say 3000K and below) are common in cozy indoor areas. They cast a much more yellow color of light compared with a daylight bulb or actual daylight, which will look very blue in comparison.
It's like the model detected that the image was people in a living room and it applied a warm white balance to the whole picture because most images of a family in the living room have warm lighting globally.
But since it is a machine and apparently has not yet been explicitly taught that comics generally have bright colors and no strange tints, then it does not adjust accordingly.
I wonder if that is even giving it too much credit. Maybe it's just the deterioration from all the iterations of garbage in, garbage out.
Who would have thought that the Orphan Crushing Machine was just a stock Ford F-150 this whole time?
Is it really the safety standards? I thought it was a combination of all the stupid "truck" exceptions and our equally stupid culture where the iamverybadasses choose their 3-ton grocery and kindergarten shuttles out of fear because they want to "win" any collisions.
In the US at least, if you look at the entire TOP 30% of earners, the majority of that group would have five-figure incomes. Not destitute, but the exact kind of middle/working class incomes where people are getting beat down by prices.
You just aren't thinking like a billionaire, man. What you do is get the two people anyway, and still force the 70 hour work week.
Your job is not to find a reasonable steady state of operation. Your job is to exploit the resources before you (even the ones with emotions and families) to extract value for the shareholders in the most efficient way possible, before somebody even more evil and clever than you figures out a better way and we direct future fresh meat to his meat grinder instead of yours.
Turtles are kind of in between with their wedge-shaped heads. They need the awareness to hide from predators, but some of them are also predators themselves or they at least snap at fruits and veggies to eat them.
Here's my tortoise doing his best disappointed-in-you baby yoda:
And here's the yellow belly slider locking target on to some shrimp.
But it sounds like the rules aren't as consistent in the water, judging from other comments. Even something like an alligator snapping turtle's eyes are no further forward than these pics.
Your comment just made me realize I did a kind of GOG holiday sale shopping spree this year after having not done a steam holiday sale purchase in like a decade.
And the majority of it was having cheap easy drm-free access to some very good and very old games. Like yeah I know I have my ISO of the TIE Fighter collector's cd-rom somewhere around here, but if I can permanently have legit drm-free access to all versions of the game for just a few dollars, then supporting the business enabling that is a no brainer.
That kind of suggestive language gives me a large hadron.
